Hi, folks. Yes, I
am giving you the thumbs up--you
know how I feel about you--but I'm also showing you the PG version of my Gingher-related injury.
Love my Ginghers.
Love em. But I just want you to know that they
are as sharp as everyone says, and that is why you should not wipe felt lint from the blade with your thumb. Duh.
This late-in-life learning moment has slowed progress on the above house portrait a smidge, but mostly I've lead a craft-free life the past several days because I found out
Thursday that my summer course
is going to run, so, you know, I had to make one. A course. In three days. Awesome.
Annabelle spent those same three days (with breaks for episodes of
Little House on the Prairie on DVD--thanks, Nanny!--and the season's first trip to the beach--thanks Aunt Abby!) making this thank you note for one of the guests at her tenth birthday party. The child is nothing if not thorough.
I love how the actual thank you note is this teensy piece of paper folded into this 3-D mailbox--at the cupcake post office.
I'm also digging the fortune teller at the far right here. Nice touch.
Any chance, you think, that I might be influencing this artist a little? ;-)
And finally, it looks like real estate prices are holding pretty steady in this neck of the woods, at least. The price on this summer home is $6,000,000,000,000. It looks like it's worth every penny, too.
Delicious!

i was just reading your blog and my girl walked up and said 'hey! annabelle just handed me the same card in the driveway!' ha.
it is the best thank you card ever ever in the history of ever.
One of those cyber/real clash moments, huh? It _is_ a pretty awesome thank you card, I have to admit.
umm... melissa? your girl is out of this world fantastically talented. you know that, right? my goodness that card is fantastic.
i tried to email you today but somehow it wound up as a response to your last comment on my blog. i have no idea why. also... i haven't been able to comment on a blogger blog for weeks now. i'll sign in with my simple green frugal account and see if it works...
i am just now mulling over how incredibly "fun" it would be to throw together a course in 3 days. (i DID go to school for education once upon a time). oh, yikes.
and, um, i am totally on board for the cupcake house. that card is SO incredibly cool. she should open her own etsy shop.... cuz people would eat that up. (hey, i just made a pun!)
wow... that is an awesome card!
darn that lint. way cool thank you card. i need to take some lessons, from both of you :)
I followed the link from Sew Mama Sew and I have to tell you that I am so smitten with your work. It looks like your daughter is def. following in her mother's footsteps!
Thank you, N.! And welcome!
